Chapter Three

There was a loud banging and Justin grabbed Canna's wrist as the other's rushed out into the main room.

"Don't say anything. I'll answer your questions later." He whispered roughly as he pulled her in line next to him.

A heavily bolted door swung open and Officer Violet walked out.

"Who didn't clean the toilet yesterday?!?!" She shrieked, her voice sounding like nails on a chalkboard.

"I forgot... Mistress Violet..." Jordan whispered, shaking like a leaf and looking at the ground.

"You! You've been forgetting to do your chores all week!" Violet shouted, grabbing Jordan's wrist.

"P-please, Mistress! I've been very upset lately, I'll make it up to you!" Jordan had begun shaking even more, terror obvious on his face.

"If you forget one more time. This week or the next, or the next and so forth. You will be punished." Her lips made a popping noise as she said the last word, spit flying out of her mouth.

"M-miss..." Canna began, receiving a terrified look from Jordan.

"Mistress to you, peasant." Violet corrected.

"Yes... I apologize, Mistress. I-I was wondering when I would be able to go home." Canna asked, feeling herself beginning to tremble.

"Go home?" Mistress Violet had begun to laugh. "Oh that's a good one deary. You have no home. Your mother is dead and your father will be soon as well. Alonso will make sure of that!"

Justin stiffened beside Canna.

"Alonso..?" Justin questioned, anger becoming obvious on his face.

"Oh yes my boy. The one who betrayed your parents." Violet chuckled.

"They're serving a lifetime in prison because of him! Why you little-!"

"Justin stand down!" Vivien shouted, her gun brought to Justin's head.

"You wouldn't understand, Vivien! My dads loved me and refused to let me stay in prison with them! They gave me away to this monster to keep me from a life in prison! They failed because if this b-"

"Profanity!" Andrew shouted.

"I don't care, Andrew! You're a monster, Violet. You deserve to die. I don't say that to many people because no one deserves a sudden death but you... oh, you deserve to die slowly and painfully. I hope whatever beast kills you tortures you, dangling freedom in front of your face before snatching it back up and using you like a toy for happiness. Just like you did to us!" Justin shrieked.

"Toys for happiness? You really think you're something that sweet? You're slaves. You're too weak to rebel and I have something to use against each of you." Violet giggled.

Andrew stiffened at her words.

"Y-you found them..?" He questioned.

"Yes. They will be tested on the moment you step out of line, Andrew." Violet began to giggle more violently.

Tears welled in the corners of Jordan's eyes and Vivien's hands were clenched.

"I can have your dads killed at the flip of a switch, Justin. Vivien, your brother is at gun point wishing you'd come set him free. Your parents are in a testing facility waiting for my command to begin the mutation experiment, Andrew. Jordan, your cat is being beaten as we speak for your mistakes." Violet turned to look at Canna. "And you young lady. Your dad's life is at stake with every word you speak to me."

Canna didn't respond to this, terrified for her father's life.

"Breakfast will be served in half an hour. The buzzer will sound telling you to leave and go to the cafeteria. Like usual. I just thought I'd inform our new... participant." Violet hissed before leaving the room, the locks on the door grinding as she slid them back.

"They found the creatures that made me!" Andrew shouted. "How much you wanna bet that my mother's a toad?!?! I put five bucks on it!"

"My brother was taken by social services. How did they find him..?" Vivien said to no one in particular.

"I knew that my dads were locked up but I didn't know that she had them entwined around death's finger..." Justin mumbled.

"MY CAT! SHE FOUND MRS. SNUFFLES!" Jordan cried out, tears streaming down his face, snot dribbling out his nose.
